Nepenthes Bill Bailey BE3820
Tropical Pitcher Plant (Nepenthes sp.) Care
- Best to use only pure water – rainwater, distilled water or RO water. Be careful of bottled water as some contain salt which will kill your Tropical Pitcher plant
- Keep a small amount of pure water in each trap. Mist plants regularly.
- Keep soil moist; but well drained at all times. Do Not let your Nepenthes sit in water
- Nepenthes like partial sunny location. They grow well on windowsills or under fluorescent lights in a terrarium.
- Soil is mixture 3 parts long fiber sphagnum with 1 part perlite or 1 part fine orchid bark.
- Fertilize Nepenthes with foliar fertilizer. ¼ tsp of Maxsea per gallon of water, 2 times a month
- Nepenthes like to grow warm: above 50 degrees. Ideal is 65 to 80 degrees with high humidity.

I received this Nepenthes Bill Bailey’ several days ago with another two nepenthes. It came with a lot of pitchers in full shape (6 of them), very beautiful, healthy plants and very good packaging, too. Specially the customer service is the best. Thank you for everything. I just ordered one more. Loved it.

I had a few questions about the details of the plant, so I contacted the company. They were extremely customer friendly, and answered my questions completely and thoroughly.
The plant was packaged very well for a plant, and arrived in excellent condition. The leaves were green and there were 5 healthy traps.
The average size of the plant is medium. Each matured trap measures to be around 3” in height. This company ensures quality and quantity. I would buy again!

I have to admit, I was nervous about this order for several reasons! It’s my first time ordering from Bergen, I somehow managed to input the wrong state for my delivery address, and when I frantically emailed with my correct address, my email account didn’t trust the source with my personal info! That said, I ordered these plants late Monday night (possibly early Tuesday morning!) and they appeared on my doorstep late Thursday morning – FAST shipping, and I’ve ordered pitcher plants from 2 other places in the last 2 weeks that still haven’t arrived! The plants I received from Bergen were nice and big, with several healthy pitchers, and they were packaged with absolute care. I am thrilled! 5/5 for everything from the quality of the plant to the incredible shipping speed! Will absolutely order from Bergen again!

Purchased on the 17th of April to quickly arrive on the 21st with heating pad still slightly warm! Plant was in perfect condition, too. Totally satisfied, and will definitely check back again someday.
